He means the INSTALLPREFIX, which is usually /usr or /usr/local. Your
problem is that you havn't build it yet (run make) which will generate
the actual module and you need to install it to get the scripts into
the right locations.

If you can, I'd suggest installing binary versions of the contrib
modules (it's called postgresql-8.2-contrib in debian for example).
That saves you having to worry about sources, paths, compilations, etc).

Have a nice day,
